Starting out ;

My Media Group is ; Hannah Mccrossen , Cindy Wellings , Claire Brooke and myself ( the same goup i did my preliminary with ) 

Well we had some basic ideas about a performing school , or maybe a horror , but we thought because so many people do horrors it might be a good idea to do something different like a comedy . Well Hannah has been ill so we've had to go ahead with planning without her but we've been contacting her through facebook with all the ideas and we're all really keen about our idea. 

Basically , because we have all links to dance , drama and acting outside and inside school we thought we'd make things easy for us and use these to our advantage. We were thinking of having it set in school ( specialising in performances) with characters like , the singer and the band ( which will coincide with the soundtrack) the actor and the dancer , and the geek ( who doesnt fit in ) who takes pictures for the yearbook. He walk in on the different performers on seperate occasions and tries to get their pictures but they tell him to go away but before he gets pushed away , theres a freeze frame of the different performers  and commentary . For example with the dancer  it would be like " Cindy Wellings, the school dancer ,voted most likely to be famous by the age of 20. " and we're trying to add comedy into it.

We thought it would be a good idea if while he is being pushed aside , we never actually see the geeks face and  then after we've seen the actor the singer and dancer , you finally get to see the boy who keeps being told to get out , and it freezes on him and is like " thats me , the school geek .... "
we also had the idea of doing the credits like they are in napoleon dynamite which is one of our influences , with the book and you open the book and the names are in it.
and then we also had the idea of giving the nerd either a poloroid camera or a video camera. It started out as a poloroid , but then we didnt know if we could find one so we though video camera , but then there are more idea's that can be linked to the poloroid camera and it seems all that bit more "geek chic".

Mr Go said we might be able to get a poloroid camera from the art department so we'll look into that
Also we kind of did some casting , we've already asked our mate connor fuller to do drums for the band . and luke groszewski to be the geek , because he would suit it so well ,also it would be nice to have a mix of sexes rather than all girls .

oh and for music inspiration we were thinking of something kind of mean girl-esque . like selena gomez -bang a drum.

ermmm what else. we thought about having the freeze frames as flashes from the camera , so the camera would flash and the screen would freeze and then you would hear the geeks commentary. or then we thought about the idea we just said , about having the credits in a book , and having the book as a year book , with the poloroid pictures in it. 

We decided we need to meet up in christmas time to try and script and compose music so that we can get straight to filming in january due to me going on holiday in february.
